Problem / Solution

The SQL Server Reporting Services RS.EXE utility is a command line utility that
can perform many scripted operations related to SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).
In this video tip we cover using the tool to export a report from the ReportServer
to local directory in way similar to the Subscription functionality.

The utility has two required arguments:

-i : denotes the input file, including the full or relative path, which
will be run by RS.exe. This file must be written in Visual Basic .Net code and
must have an rss extension

-s : denotes the SSRS server URL, such as http://myserver/ReportServer
or https://myserver/ReportServer. The http:// or https:// prefix is optional.

Additional arguments can be passed to the utility at runtime including the "-v"
argument which allows variables to be passed to the script.

The RS.exe program is generally found in the default installation directory:
Tools> Binn directory; for my SQL Server 2012 installation the file was located in: C:\Program
Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn.
